The most common sites of breast cancer metastasis include the lymph nodes, bones, lungs, liver, and brain. Gastrointestinal tract metastasis is rarely seen, and hypopharyngeal metastasis is extremely rare. We herein report a case of late distant recurrence of breast cancer and synchronous metastasis to the hypopharynx, stomach, ileum, bones, and lymph nodes almost 24 years after surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first case of synchronous metastasis to the hypopharynx, gastrointestinal tract, and other organs, especially after a long interval following primary mastectomy.
乳腺癌转移最常见的部位包括淋巴结、骨骼、肺、肝和脑。胃肠道转移很少见,下咽转移则极为罕见。我们在此报告一例乳腺癌术后近 24 年出现远处复发,并同时转移至下咽、胃、回肠、骨骼和淋巴结的病例。据我们所知,这是首例下咽、胃肠道及其他器官同步转移的病例,尤其是在原发乳房切除术后很长时间间隔后发生。
